Anti-Air needs nerfing on 2042
I understand the need for a balance between helis and AA but the FXM missiles are too strong now. In the Beta test it was possible to dodge fxm missiles and avoid death, now it is impossible as they ...

Good, so it should be. The players on the ground should have some sort of fighting chance as this is our only weapon to fight it! Being a player on the ground and getting smashed by air is not a nice exp, so to have the FXM is our weapon choice against it. So I hope it will not be nerfed!!
Both teams have aircraft that can counter each other. Air superiority should be rewarding after winning in air combat. The handheld rockets make it almost impossible for a good pilot to survive. In fact, a good pilot and gunner are punished for scoring kills as those people respawn with FXM-33's and vendetta. They 100% need to be nerfed. Personally, I think they should be removed altogether and replaced with stationary AA just like in previous Battlefield games. This would give the pilot a chance to counter instead of having to spot ants with rocket launchers. There are often 10-25+ players using them which is incredibly imbalanced. Alas, I will be satisfied with damage reduction down to like 20% instead of 50% and 100% (sometimes 1 rocket will blow up a chopper) and greater ability to dodge the missiles. This way infantry can still feel the satisfaction of returning fire (even though heat seeking missiles require no skill) and the pilot has a chance to evade.
- @PaladinPipboy Disagree. While air superiority is great to have, there needs to be a way to re-balance it.
If players are willingly giving up otherwise better gadgets to take more Stingers, then it is on the ground vehicles and infantry to pick up the slack for the aircraft… this usually does not happen though.
- @hearingflame Totally agree, if we had a scoreboard the pilots would show 100 kills a game. Beeing absolutely annihilited from the air.
I have started carrying a FAA just to get some peace and avoid all the random deaths from above.- The heli/AA balance is fine - the number of posts wanting to nerf/buff each is proof enough of that.
when choppers stop dropping these numbers I'll agree.
